maybe you have to balance your tires or your rims are bent? Or maybe your wheel bearing is getting old?

u sure every thing is tight man? it sounds like a suspension vibration but at the same end if you fixed things the balance of the tires could escalate, check all the parts and then balance your tires for sure.

Have you checked your engine mounts? As they get old the rubbers can get brittle and makes the vibrations from the engine go through the body. Just a thought might be worth checking.

engine mounts op would feel coming to a stop or taking off you would hear/feel a really clunking noise. First I would check your balance go some place that has a balancer with roadforce capabilities that will also check to see if your rims are bent.
